Bedwell is a residential ward in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, that grew up largely as part of the town's post‑war New Town expansion. It contains a mix of 1950s-era and later housing, pockets of former council stock and private estates, with handy local shopping parades and patches of public green space that give it a suburban, family-oriented feel.
Located close to Stevenage town centre and the station, the ward benefits from good commuter links into London and elsewhere, and has seen various regeneration efforts over the years. Active community groups, schools and small businesses contribute to a diverse social mix and a strong neighbourhood identity.
